Family Recipe Reviews

Amazing food, I just received my order and this is my first revue on the site even though I have been ordering for quite some time but I was so happy with the food that I thought I would just thank them by spreading the word !!!

Had to update and supplement my prior review: PREVIOUS: "Have enjoyed the delightful fare from family recipe on a number of occasions recently. The chicken wings app is filling and nicely seasoned, the brussels sprouts by far the best I've had anywhere, the kale caesar salad also a favorite, as are the shishito peppers and the fried rice bowl. Only thing keeping from a perfect rating is I was rather underwhelmed by the shrimp and squid ink okonomiyaki, just so-so, but maybe just not my cup of tea. And the delivery has always been speedy and pleasant, even in very inclement weather. Would recommend without hesitation." UPDATED: Have eaten there and was phenomenal and the updated menu is even more delicious, in particular the octopus and squid and rice cake dish is off the charts. So need to give 5 stars. Enjoy!

Very good. Everything had a good amount of flavor and is a nice change of pace from your normal take out fare. The wings were good, but with a little too much breading (especially for take out - less crispy). The pork buns were great, as were the kale, shiitake dumplings. Looking forward to trying more.

The food is tasty. However, its overpriced for the teeny portions and their service SUCKS. They forgot 2 out of 6 dishes, refused to redeliver and gave me the runaround regarding refunds. I had to speak to a manager the next day who refunded me for 1 dish. Then, they forgot to refund for the 2nd one. I emailed Seamless and they refunded me themselves!!

Family Recipe is much better when you go to the restaurant--the menu has a lot more options. We've ordered here a few times and the quality seems inconsistent... I like the flavor of the puree that comes with the cauliflower steak but the kimchee and shrimp dish was all rice and almost no kimchee.

Rice bowls are delicious and the Mackerel bento box lunch special is fantastic!

Chicken wings arrive a little soggy each time but the food is delicious anyway. Wish they had a way to keep those wings crispy. Kimchi is awesome, and whatever they put on top of the rice in the bento boxes tastes great.

The food was delivered at a wrong apartment, I called the restaurant to ask if the food was on the way, the manager told me it had been delivered and called me a liar. He sent the guy at the end of the service to check, the delivery guy realized it delivered next door, got back the food which had been sitting there for at least an hour and gave it back to me. The meal was not even refunded. Very unpleasant experience

A twist on family style Japanese cooking. Very nice to have a non-sushi Jp restaurant in the hood. I think they need to fine tune their flavoring a bit. Couldn't taste the lemongrass at all in their roasted mackerel. Tofu rice bowl is a little bland, completely fixable with a tiny bit more salt. But beef bowl is a little bit too salty. Maze ramen is bland, and gets soggy. LOVE the wings and crispy mentai cod roe tofu. Super friendly nice delivery guy and speedy delivery. I hope the kitchen improves a bit, especially at this price point but def want to try more of their other food.

Just ordered the family recipe fried rice bowl and it was delicious and so fresh. Delivery was fast and the guy was nice too.

The BEST delivery I have ordered in a long time. not only was my delivery guy nice and kind and SMILING, which struck me as odd, but that alone made me glad I choose this spot. Followed by a simply delicious meal! I will ordering from here often!

Love this restaurant and had no idea that they delivered til I saw them on Seamless. Always great food and so much better than more places that deliver, especially Japanese. Really nice people too

I love the food at Family Recipe and was really excited to see them on Seamless. For me, this is the ultimate asian comfort food (and also a great place to host a birthday dinner party). The rice bowls and kale salad are such a treat. Although on the pricier side, the quality and care spent on the dishes is well worth it. Have to agree with the other reviewer though, the dishes could benefit from a tad less oil.
